The Second Farmers' Annual Picnic.
The second annual farmers' picnic,
given by tho regents of tho Univorsity
of Nebraska at the state experimental
farm south of town Saturday was a
great success. Although tho day was
very warm, the attendance was largo
nnd much interost was taken in tho
work being done at tho station. Farm
ers from far nnd near wore present nnd
u majority of tho town people who
could loavo their business wont out.
Tho students of tho Junior Normal
Wi ro taken out as a body.
During the morning tho timo was
spent in viewing tho farm and tho ex
periments being conducted. After the
dinner hour tho boys' band rendered
sovcrnl fino selections, followed by in
troductory remarks by Mayor Patter
son, who introduced Supt. W. P. Sny
der, of tho farm, Mr. Snyder out
lined the methods of tillage used and
tho gencrnl results obtained. Bromo
grass, ho said, was destinod to become
tho great pasturage of tho western
states if farmers pick their seed and
till their land well. Ho could not say
how profltablo bromo grass was, but
the experiments show that it is more
profitable than prairie grass, coming
earlier in tho spring and remaining
later in the fall. He said it might be
used as hay and when mixed with al
falfa produces very good hay for win
ter use.
At the present timo tho station is
conducting n number of experiments
with hogs, cattle ami horses. Supt.
Snyder said that they try to find tho
cost per pound of each hog, when sent
to mnrkot, and this year thoy have
been experimenting with a fifty-pound
pig. Ho purchased corn from tho farm
ers at seventy cents and by feeding it
to the hog, his returns were 100 per
cent greater than tho farmer would
get by selling it on tho market. Ho
declared that in Western Nobraska,
where hundreds of acres of alfalfa now
grow, there ought to bo thousands of
acros. Experiments bIiow that alfalfa
ted Hogs, cattlo and horses would show
better results than grass or cano fed
animals. In concluding ho said the
three money making propositions for
Western Nebraska wero hoes, alfalfa
nnd tho farm diury.
Supt. Snyder introduced Dean Bur
nett, of tho Nobraska state agricultural
college, who was surpriB"d at tho at
tendance and interest shown. Un
snid that tho station is fulfilling its
purposo nnd irront results have been
obtained in tho fow years of its exist
ence. Ono of tho great results is that
experiments show that spring 'vheat is
much more profitable than Into wheat.
Tho wheat avcrago shown on tho sta
tion is moro than tcvico the averairo in
the eastern part of the ttatc.
the problems now boforo us. ho de

as to yield tho maximum return to tho
